2.2.9 Check for any Passing Vehicle When Getting Off
When getting off, check the rear and side of the car for passing
vehicles or pedestrians.
Vehicles or motorcycles coming from the rear, if unchecked, might
stumble on you when you open the door.
2.2.10 Stopping and Parking the Vehicle
• Never leave infants and children unattended in the vehicle with
the doors locked. They can move the vehicle unexpectedly. They
can be suffocated especially in hot weather
• When parking the vehicle on a hilly road, apply the parking brake
and chock the blocks under the wheels. And place the gear shift
lever in “P” for vehicles
• If possible, do not stop and park the vehicle on the steep road
• If possible, do not park the vehicle in a humid area or enclosed
area
• Do not park in places where hay, foliage, paper, rags, oil, or other
easily inflammable materials are kept. While driving or after
immediately driving, the muffler and exhaust pipe are hot;
inflammable materials near the vehicle might cause a fire
• Apply the parking brake when you park the vehicle
• Do not use “P” position as a parking brake. Securely apply the
parking brake when you park the vehicle
2.2.11 Warming up the Engine
• Do not drive without warming up the engine. Driving immediately
after starting the engine may decrease the engine’s life
expectancy. Warm up the engine before moving your vehicle
• Do not warm up the engine excessively. Warm up the engine just
until the coolant temperature gauge begins to move
• Excessive engine warming increases the fuel consumption and
air pollution. An optimised warming up time is approx. 2 minutes
• Do not warm up in an airtight space. Exhaust fumes may result
in toxicities
Do not accelerate the engine during the warming up period
